I can only see the option of creating a whole new set of footnotes, which is not at all what I want:The following is the best i can do (to change the symbol each \MyNote you need a counter for it): \define[1]\MyNote {\bgroup \savenumber [footnote]% \resetnumber[footnote]% \setupnote[footnote][numberconversion=set 2]% \footnote{#1}% \restorenumber[footnote]% \egroup} \starttext This is just a test!\MyNote{With a footnote attached.} This is just a test!\footnote{With a footnote attached.} \stoptext WolfgangThanks Wolfgang! This "starred" footnote is often used for acknowledgments etc. in articles, and it's always the first note, often appended to the title. So I come back to my first attempt: this does work, and unless one wants unusual symbols in the middle of ordinary footnotes, seems like the easiest solution: \setupfootnotes[rule=off] \starttext This is just a test!{\setupfootnotes[numberconversion=set 2]\footnote{With a footnote attached.}\resetnumber[footnote]}
As we already can disable a number it's no big deal to add the option for an alternative symbol:
\setupfootnotes[rule=off]
\definenote[starrednote][footnote][numberconversion=set 2]
\setupnote[footnote][symbol={$*$}]
\starttext
This is just a test!\footnote {Just a footnote (a).}
This is just a test!\starrednote{Just a footnote (b).}
This is just a test!\footnote[-]{Just a footnote (-).}
This is just a test!\footnote[+]{Just a footnote (+).}
This is just a test!\footnote {Just a footnote (c).}
This is just a test!\starrednote{Just a footnote (d).}
This is just a test!\footnote {Just a footnote (e).}

I'll put a beta on the ftp (as I needed to adapt some description
related code and as usual I'll have made some typos so you depend on
Wolfgang's checking. Wolfgang: we have a new key 'symbol' for
enumerations and footnotes.)
On the agenda is a merged flush of notes so that you can have a new instance and flush in the same order (I remember experimenting with it but probably never finished it).
